2023 Smithy's VFL Review - Richmond

WHAT WENT RIGHT

The final siren was their friend. Richmond remarkably had four matches decided by kicks after the siren this season, winning three and drawing one to ultimately secure its spot in the Wildcard Round. Jacob Bauer was the main hero, twice converting with everything on the line to secure interstate victories over the GWS Giants and Brisbane Lions. The Tigers beat Essendon and drew with Geelong when those teams were unable to kick truly after the final siren. James Trezise was Richmond’s biggest success story, arriving as a VFL-listed player and dominating to the point where he was elevated in the mid-season draft and made his AFL debut in the final round of the season. Captain Lachie Street continued to lead from the front. Going 3-0 interstate is a huge plus.

WHAT WENT WRONG

The Tigers struggled to put scores on the board, only cracking 100 points once for the season – 104 against the Northern Bullants in Round 1. They finished with the lowest points tally of any of the top 10 teams and had the 13th best attack overall. They were also the only team to make the finals kicking more behinds than goals. Tyler Sonsie’s brain snap in Round 22 robbed the Tigers of one of their prime movers in the Wildcard Round against Collingwood, while injuries to Garrett McDonagh and Mykelti Lefau also hurt.

SUMMARY

A middling season for the Tigers that probably ended up being better than it could have been because they were so good at staying in matches to the death and taking their chances when they popped up. Balancing that out was their poor conversion that made some of those games closer than they needed to be. Only six times in 19 games did they kick more goals than behinds and it was only their heart that lifted them into the top 10. They’d be happy ninth now brings a Wildcard Round appearance! Away wins over the Brisbane Lions and Southport Sharks sandwiching a home loss to the Swans sums things up perfectly.

GRADE

5.5/10

We’ve Garnered a pretty exciting recruit 🙌

Former Port Adelaide/Footscray midfielder Joel Garner will join our program as both a player and development coach.




Richmond has bolstered its VFL midfield with the addition of former Port Adelaide (AFL) and Footscray (VFL) midfielder Joel Garner.

Garner, who is already employed by the AFL program full-time as an Indigenous Player Development Manager, will now ply his trade for the Club on field and as a VFL development coach.

The 24-year-old played four senior games at Port Adelaide across four years at Alberton after being selected at pick No. 60 at the 2017 AFL National Draft.

Garner featured 23 times for the Bulldogs across the past two VFL seasons, averaging 19 disposals and booting 12 majors.

The big-bodied midfielder with a booming left foot had 25 touches and kicked two goals when playing against Richmond at Punt Road earlier this year.

Garner then returned to his local club, Wandin, late in 2023 and played a pivotal role in them winning the Outer East premiership.

The former Victoria Metro U/18 captain told Richmond Media he was excited about joining the VFL program as a player.

“Having worked at the Club for the past 12 months, first with the Korin Gamadji Institute and then with the AFL program, the prospect of also playing my football here jumped out at me,” he said.

“On the field I hope I can add to the team- but I and am also looking forward to the prospect of extending my work with the young Indigenous players in a football sense.”

As a development coach Garner said he was looking forward to working with players looking to make their mark on state league football.

“Both the young guys that are AFL listed playing VFL and those that are testing themselves out at VFL level from either local football or NAB league programs, I am looking forward to working with,” he said.

“Already in my time at the Club, Footscray and even Wandin, I have worked with some great young kids and helping them get some exposure to a high level of footy is exciting.

“I can’t wait for the season ahead.”
